Gulfstream’s G700 Surpasses 65 City-pair Records

Gulfstream Aerospace’s ultra-long-range G700 flagship continues to amass city-pair records, with the tally now topping 65.

Most recent record flights included a 4,090-nm journey from Savannah, Georgia, to Honolulu in 8 hours 52 minutes using a blend of sustainable aviation fuel and averaging a speed of Mach 0.90. The aircraft also flew 6,507 nm from Los Angeles to Sydney in 14 hours and 26 minutes.

Records continue to accrue as Gulfstream shows off its newest certified model globally. “Gulfstream continues to see remarkable interest in the G700 around the world, and we are pleased to take it directly to our customers to showcase the capabilities this aircraft has to offer,” said Gulfstream president Mark Burns.

Meanwhile, the G700 is appearing this week at the Bahrain International Airshow, where it is being displayed alongside the venerable G500 until Friday. “Gulfstream continues to see strong demand in the Middle East and interest in our next-generation fleet remains high,” said Scott Neal, senior v-p of worldwide sales for Gulfstream. “The G700 and G500 each provide a combination of advanced technology, cabin comfort, and performance capabilities that continue to resonate with operators in the region.”

Since U.S. FAA certification in March, the 7,750-nm twinjet has received validations from EASA and nine other nations.
